The Trillions At The Camel

This past Sunday, RVA indie rockers The Trillions played a great set at the Camel, and photographer extraordinaire Todd Raviotta was on the scene. He brought us back some great evidence of how much fun the night was, in the form of the photographs and videos below.


This past Sunday, RVA indie rockers The Trillions played a great set at the Camel, and photographer extraordinaire Todd Raviotta was on the scene. He brought us back some great evidence of how much fun the night was, in the form of the photographs and videos below.

The Trillions bedecked their amps with Christmas lights left over from the recent holiday, and blew through their set of power-pop tunes with great energy, as can be seen below, on “Wish You Well.”

After the main part of the set was over, they finished with a blazing fast version of “I.C.C.B.” from last year’s excellent Flux EP. This got the crowd really excited, and ended the evening on a high note.

…and then everyone headed to the bar for a drink.
